  The existing KEK 500 MeV booster synchrotron is renovated into a digital accelerator (DA) capable of accelerating all species of ion [1]. The KEK-DA is an induction synchrotron employing no large injector. Its concept was demonstrated in 2006 using the 12 GeV proton synchrotron [2,3], where a proton bunch was accelerated with pulse voltages generated by a transformer instead of RF. In the KEK-DA, O, Ne, and Ar ions from the ECRIS embedded in the 200 kV high-voltage terminal (HVT) are directly injected into the ring though the low energy beam transport line. The permanent magnet ECRIS, in which a plasma is fired by x-band microwave pulses of 3 msec at 10 Hz, has been assembled at KEK. Its operational performance such as charge-state spectrum, emittance, and current is tested since the last year. In addition, the HVT with a voltage stabilizing circuit is being assembled now. Beam dynamical analysis from the cathode hall to the separation magnet, where possible charge-state ions are contaminated in the space-charge limit and beam focusing is realized through the Einzel lens and tandem acceleration gaps, is discussed as well as operational characteristics of the ECRIS.
